Aerial 7T/6 vs Vandersteen Quatro/Treo/2Ce Sig II

My first recommendation would be to not buy speakers going just by reviews. If you end up with something you like it will be more of an accident than anything else.

Given the choices you list, I would go with the Model 2's. I have them in my main system and know them very well. If you match your components well and set them up properly, they will sound amazing. The Quatro and Treo are also very good but I like the Vandersteen's that don't have a traditional box. You'll save a lot of money also. The 2's will do most things better that the Aerials. The Aerials will play louder and go a little deeper in the bass.

Every time I read what you write I say to myself that guy is spot on.
But you gota hear the just launched Vandersteen CT Quatro.

I agree! Go listen and decide for yourself.

I have 2 friends using Vandersteen 2's and every time I listen to them, I want to rip the sock out of the drivers. It's muffled, peaky ... can't stand them.

Not familiar with the Aerial 7T but did demo the 7B when I was shopping speakers for my sister. The 7B's were muffled compare to the B&W which was too bright and hard. The salesman heard the same and suggests driving them with brighter components. The 7B is NOT 7T so go listen for yourself.

I love , my vandersteen treo . I had bought , John , thank you for , selling me them !! Very good!!!!! Buy !!! .
